equal to 11.0 m/s
less than 11.0 m/s

5.) Most homes have an outdoor faucet to which they can attach a standard 3/4 inch (diameter) garden hose. When it is attached to a standard garden hose, Fred's outdoor faucet delivers water at a rate of 7.6 feet/sec. In order to water a larger area, Fred splits his standard hose into three 1/2 inch lines. If the water is distributed through all of the 1/2 inch hoses equally, what is the volume flow output of each of the 1/2 inch lines.

A Rail Gun uses electromagnetic forces to accelerate a projectile to very high velocities. The basic mechanism of acceleration is relatively simple and can be illustrated in the following example. A metal rod of mass m and electrical resistance R rests on parallel horizontal rails (that have negligible electric resistance), which are a distance L apart, as shown in (Figure 1). The rails are also connected to a voltage source V, so a current loop is formed.
The vertical magnetic field, initially zero, is slowly increased. When the field strength reaches the value B0, the rod, which was initially at rest, begins to move. Assume that the rod has a slightly flattened bottom so that it slides instead of rolling. Use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.
Find μs, the coefficient of static friction between the rod and the rails.
Express the coefficient of static friction in terms of variables given in the introduction.

This question is inspired by this question/answer pair: Is this formula for the energy of a configuration of 3 fluids physically reasonable?
Consider three immiscible fluids forming contact surfaces, where none of the three can make a lubrication layer for the other two (the surface energy between fluid 1 and fluid 2 is not decreased by putting a thin layer of fluid 3 inbetween them, and likewise for the other two permutations). In this case, if all the contact surface tensions are positive, you have a minimum energy when all the surfaces are flat.
But there is a separate line tension for the 3-fluid interface itself. Can this line tension be negative? If it is negative, the line would like to wriggle, but the surface tension will require that the wriggles straighten themselves out as quickly as possible, to make the surface energy least. In this case, the minimizing energy configuration seems to be a very rapidly wriggling curve which is only infinitesimally different at the atomic scale from straight line. This suggests that a negative line-tension always renormalizes to exactly zero line-tension at long wavelengths. Is this correct?
Are there experimental or computational 3-phase line interfaces with a negative line tension? Do they renormalize to a zero line tension limit? Does this mean that zero line tension is a common observation?

Newton said that objects continue moving if no forces are acting on them, but his predecessor Aristotle said that a force was necessary to keep an object moving. Why does Aristotle’s theory seem more plausible, even though we now believe it to be wrong? What insight was Aristotle missing about the reason why things seem to slow down naturally? Give an example
